Do you believe in freedom of speech? Do you believe in the validity of your argument? If you do, then I would think that you might have confidence in it, and perhaps realize that in responding as you did, you might have turned away more than you might have convinced, by treating as you did someone who disagreed with you.
Again, I am genuinely sorry that what I said came across as needlessly cruel.
At the same time, I'm not sure that you appreciate what I and others have received and do regularly continue to receive here merely for posting our sincere understanding of the absolute truth. I think you would find that MamaTexan has not been excruciatingly polite herself.
Those of us who post an accurate view of history, law and the Constitution are regularly subjected to various forms of name-calling and abuse. We are "trolls," "Obots," "paid." MamaTexan, for example, earlier insulted me by asking, more than once, whether I was being "paid by the word."
DiogenesLamp once stated in all apparent seriousness that he would cheer if I could be taken out and shot.
This was the proposed penalty for my stating my understanding of the truth.
So if you wish to support civility and freedom of speech, I'm for that. It would be good though if both sides of the debate were sincerely sorry on occasions when they came across as cruel. In my own experience, I cannot recall that that has ever been the case.
